You see I picked up the Aviary 2 a couple months ago knowing it would make a beautiful project for a close friend. Since then I have been trying to find a quilt that would do the large scale prints justice, and this is perfect! Also, the pattern reminds me a bit of the red lacquer door and window designs I saw when I was in China visiting this same friend. I think she will love it - thanks!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11473779949105327660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256649576715716272.post-3385606637801306262011-05-13T20:06:47.746-05:002011-05-13T20:06:47.746-05:00Yay for trying again!
